Made from terracotta, this amphora features a sturdy yet elegant shape, reflecting a long-standing tradition of handcrafted production. It has two solid handles, facilitating easy and practical transport, while also enhancing the overall aesthetic of the object. The surface of the amphora is often decorated with hand-painted motifs using vibrant and contrasting colors such as red, black, or ochre, which highlight the symbols and geometric patterns typical of Kabyle Berber culture. These motifs often tell stories or depict elements of nature, like the sun, earth, or water, symbols of vitality and fertility. The terracotta used is of exceptional quality—resistant and durable—suitable for both practical use and decorative purposes. The ancestral manufacturing technique, passed down through generations, gives each piece a unique and authentic character.

These amphoras symbolize cultural identity, ancestral heritage, and the craftsmanship of the Kabyle Berbers, embodying both tradition and beauty.
